Yes I did, I have my first badge.

Didn't read it yet, but on my list.

When I checked my tracking document this morning, I couldn't find your name. But on rechecking just now, I see you earned it on Aug 21. My eyes must have been a bit blurry this morning, or I hadn't had enough coffee.

I hope you enjoy Affinity.

I liked the story. The ending was good. Was a bit too long but will continue the series.

[Janice, Moderator]

Ok.... I'm still on the fence then. It seems like I've been reading too many chunksters this year. I'm not sure I want to tackle ones that I don't already own.

Does this book title apply for vanilla ice cream because it is mostly a white cover?

Curious minds and one mod will be interested to know.

To me, it looks more cream colored than white and some ice cream are white (grocery kind). if it's not accepted than i'll change the book.

[Janice, Moderator]

It's acceptable, Dominique. Could you edit your post and add the reason it fits the task? Got to make sure those technicalities are met.
